Computers powered by the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
operating system, and equipped with a sensitive screen
designed to interact with a complementary pen, are called
Tablet PCs. Tablet PCs are fully-functional laptop PCs and
more. You can use the pen directly on the screen just as you
would a mouse to do things like select, drag, and open
files; or in place of a keyboard to handwrite notes and
communication. Unlike a touch screen, the Tablet PC screen
only receives information from a special pen. It will not
take information from your finger or your shirt sleeve—so
you can rest your wrist on the screen and write naturally.

By interacting directly with the screen, rather than with a
mouse and keyboard, the PC becomes more comfortable and easy
to use. There is no need to find a flat space on which to
use your PC, nor does a vertical screen become a dividing
wall between you and the person with you whom you are
meeting. What's more, a Tablet PC can even be used while
standing up, which is perfect for professionals on the move
such as doctors, foremen, and sales managers.

The Tablet PC specification is quite specific on a lot of different fronts.
There is no reason an AMD64 processor wouldn't work just fine running XP
Tablet PC Edition - the Turion runs 32-bit Windows just fine. But that
doesn't answer whether your "tablet" is actually a Tablet PC. If it is, then
it should have shipped with Tablet PC Edition alreadly loaded. (You'll
notice that there's no retail version of the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition.
It's OEM only.)

Finally, there is full support for Tablet features in Business and Ultimate
versions of Windows Vista 64bit. But again, you need to meet the overall
specs of a Tablet PC.
